Opabinia Blues Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Hello! This is a canine tooth (that has been split in half) that I collected from the White River Formation (I believe Poleslide Member of the Brule) from Weld County, CO. I think it is a carnivore’s canine rather than simply an Oreodont canine just due to its size, but I could be wrong there I suppose. My best guess is Daphoeneus or similar due to its shape, it does not look like Hyaenodon to me, but again, could be totally off there. Pictured is the tooth’s lateral surface, interior (because it was split when I found it) and the “cutting surface.” Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilhunter21 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Could it be a Archaeotherium canine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I'm not seeing any enamel. Could this be a tooth root? Or is the lack of enamel a trick of the light? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
